✨ tweety ✨’s Reviews > Literary Forensics: How Reading Can Make You A Better Writer > Status Update

the class of kids I'm going to tutor got a rabbit as a symbol and I have to make a poster before we start next week. once again adsom reference (the rabbit I'm gonna draw is probably going to be ginger)

discourse analysis mention!! tho I think brian paltridge's book better explains what is da more than gee's text imo but well... preferences

a lot of the things mentioned when reading I already do unconsciously but I should write things down or I'll forget

I guess it's time for an adsom reread. not only bc this book advises that I reread authors I aspire to 'imitate' bc I like it. but also bc I wrote a lot of drafts these days thinking about random stuff from the books that I may have said already but it's worth repeating bc I'm studying right

while reading this book I just wrote 2 drafts about lila bard. the section about things a character is allowed to get away with made me think how some people tend to be annoying and say lila gets away with stuff while it's not true. *stomps foot* they just don't know how to spot the moments lila gets punished for her actions bc they have prosciutto on their eyes (also leave me alone it's lila thinking hours)

most of the seven reasons of boredom listed here are why I found fourth wing/iron flame lacking (since the author mentioned it earlier as a pop book). to me, it was lackluster. I would never want to write a book like that bc I want to write a book I also want to read as an author (and fw wasn't it as i made clear)

so far, I'm already doing a lot of things this books suggests I do to read as a writer. this is why for example, I don't know how to rate my latest read. I read it critically for the most part due to the contents related to my own line of work. I used to be a passive reader (I still am sometimes) or very emotional but in recent years I tend to look at structure, plot, etc more and aim to do that with my own writing

reading is impossible while the man city - napoli match is playing in the background and I need to know what the dam is going on
